LinkedIN url

[gcattej]

Hi, I've been in touch with Bullhorn support and LinkedIn directly and it seems from the detail I've been provdeid that it should be possible to import profile URLs from LinkedIn into the candidate record on BH but this doesn't seem to be happening. Looking for some advice and help on how to set up this field mapping, seems like it is an API point. Anybody have any experience or advice please ?

Bullhorn does offer an integration with LinkedIn, please reach out to your Account Manager to get begin this process.

Thanks Matt, we already have our LinkedIn integration in place, we're looking to map the profile URLs into BH, which are readable in the stub profile in LinkedIn but which are not importing to a data field in BH. It's not something the account manager can assist with or indeed the support team. From what I've been told we need to look at the API.

Is it a problem with adding a linkedinlink, just the link, to a candidates profile?

Steps to Set Up the Integration
Create or Identify the Field in Bullhorn:

Go to your Bullhorn account and navigate to the Field Mapping or Custom Fields section.
Check if there is an existing field for LinkedIn URLs. If not, create a new custom field (e.g., LinkedInProfileURL) under the candidate entity.
Configure API Settings:

If you're not familiar with API setup, you may need the help of a developer or Bullhorn's support team.
Use Bullhorn's REST API to map the LinkedIn profile URL to the corresponding field in the candidate record.
The API endpoint for updating candidate records will likely look something like PUT /entity/Candidate/{candidateId}, where you can include the LinkedIn profile URL in the payloadsnow rider 3d
Link API to LinkedIn:

You may need to set up a script or middleware that extracts LinkedIn profile URLs from your LinkedIn data and sends it to Bullhorn via API.
Ensure you have LinkedIn's permission and API access to pull this data.
Test the Integration:

After setting up the API and mapping, test the integration with a few records to ensure that LinkedIn profile URLs are correctly imported into the corresponding Bullhorn candidate records.
